Your father may write a Will bequeathing the house to your mother and get the Will registered. The property remains in your father's name during his life time. Afterwards only your mother inherits it and property gets transferred in her name. Registering a Will endure hassle free transfer of property. This is the cheapest way. But, if the property is to be registered in the name of your Mother now itself, the cost escalates manifold any which way viz. Gift or Settlement.

Dear Sir,
I spoke to registrar he is saying there is NO GIFT deed as such only Settlement is best. Request you to advice me what need to be done. I though Gift deed will be less cost but registrar is saying both are same cost go for settlement.

1. It is strange to understand that the Registrar told you 'there is no gift deed as such'.

 

2. Settlement Deed is executed when a properrty (or the claim for it between two claimants)  is settled  and in the instant case, your mother is in no way a claimant of your father's said property.

 

3. So, a gift deed registered by your father in favour of your mother will be appropriate under the given circumstances.
